"King of the Hill" is Cancelled

Thirteen has proven not-so-lucky for Fox's veteran animated comedy "King of the Hill." After several previous brushes with cancellation, the network has opted not to renew the series beyond its current 13th season.

A lot has changed since "King of the Hill" premiered in 1997. Its creators Greg Daniels and Mike Judge have moved on to other projects -- Daniels developed and is running NBC's "The Office," and Judge has a new animated series, "The Goode Family," launching on ABC in midseason.

Judge had continued to voice the central character on the toon comedy, alongside voiceover cast members Kathy Najimy, Pamela Adlon, Brittany Murphy, Tom Petty, Johnny Hardwick and Stephen Root.

Fox is introducing two new animated series in midseason, Mitch Hurwitz's "Sit Down, Shut Up" and the "Family Guy" spin-off "The Cleveland Show."

It's about time...the most mediocre animated show in history owed its life to the the fact it was placed in a time slot between the Simpsons and Family Guy...and we were to lazy to change the channel. Nothing against judge- he is a great writer but King of the Hill always felt flat and lazy.

The problem with King.. was the fact that it was all written from an "inside joke" point of view. If you weren't from west Texas, it wasn't funny. I'm not from Texas, hence the reason it was never really funny to me.
